How do you know he got in through Wordpress? Did you check the logs on your system or ask your host admin to do so?

**germ** · 02-09-2007, 12:30 PM

whaddaya mean?!11 wordpress rocks. code is poetry yo!

wordpress' code is about as poetic as that of a 13yo depressive emo.

Wordpress is always a big vulnerability

**scouser** · 02-09-2007, 01:07 PM

could just be one of your plugins.

**Phil21** · 02-09-2007, 01:08 PM

if you're running wordpress, you're vulnerable.

You just may not know it quite yet

Ranks in the same league as PHPbb for "run this software if you want to guarantee you'll get owned within 12 months"

every script is vulnerable... so is every os and every service...

Exactly... its just a matter of how bad someone wants to get at you.

Even if they don't break into your shit.. they can sent an army of zombie computers after you

Totally true. Any company that has a motto of 'code is poetry' and more 'Web 2.0' widgets than a 45 year at applebees has flair, needs to be shot.

shit... you are completely ..... gone.

How can that be?

Use a db backup script ( I posted a link to a free one a few days ago ) ... then all you would need to do would be a restore and re-upload your pics.

Another tip ( I know, elementary, but if you would see what I see ... ) delete your install file and chmod your config.php file

ur running apache 1.3.33. upgrade to 1.3.37. there's a memory leak sploit for earlier versions that allowed shell access and subsequent escalation of privilages.
